If you have an iPad, you have something in common with the President of the United States. Barak Obama told a townhall meeting to be broadcast this evening on Spanish-language network Univision on Monday that he owns one, though he’s still married to his BlackBerry smartphone, too.

“I took my BlackBerry off for this show, because I didn’t want it going off, and that would be really embarrassing,” Mr. Obama told Univision anchor Jorge Ramos, according to Marketwatch. “But usually I carry a BlackBerry around.”

Mr. Ramos then asked if he had an iPad, to which he responded, “I do have an iPad.”

The townhall meeting was unrelated to the President’s address on Libya, also broadcast on Monday evening.
